I've dropped Wuxi as it's the least attractive of the places, and so that you'll have enough time for the rest.

Thanks for your replied. Since we are going there by our own without tour guide, do you think we need to buy bus ticket and train ticket in advance? Or we can just buy on the day itself? 6 of us will be going together, I think if we take Taxi we also need to take 2 taxi, this will be a trouble. You think do we really need a tour guide? at least no need worry on the transportation. Of course, we prefer to go by our own if possible.

As for hotel, how many months advance booking will be sufficient enough and any recommendation on the hotel? Budget is about below RMB300. Thank you!

Train tickets always better to buy in advance so that you minimise time wasted and you can be sure of what train you're getting. Bus tickets can usually be bought on the day itself.
I never said you need a tour guide. I don't propose that you need one.
Booking a month in advance for hotels is plenty. If you want help with accommodation suggestion and booking, please email directly to yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" in the subject line as well as tell me who you are, thanks!
